Before the man of your dreams slipped an engagement ring on your finger, you probably laughed at movies, magazine articles and Facebook memes about bridezillas. But now that your wedding is on the horizon, could it be possible that you’ve turned into one yourself? If you’re planning a walk down the aisle in the near future, it’s absolutely vital to know the warning signs of a bridezilla so you can avoid winding up friendless and alone.
1.) YOU STOP COMPROMISING AND START CONVINCING.
Your wedding is for you and your fiancé. That means that ideally, your other half should get to make at least some of the decisions regarding how the wedding, or even the reception, will go. While you probably don’t need to go for your groom’s wish for a Wayne

Rooney impersonator to perform the ceremony, if your husband-to-be is a huge football fan, it’s at least nice to attempt to work some of his wishes into the big day. When you stop compromising with your love and start trying to convince them to do everything your way, you’re probably on the way to being a bridezilla. If your fiancé doesn’t even try to offer input anymore for fear of your reaction, you’re probably already there. 2.) YOU’VE MADE STRONG SUGGESTIONS TO GUESTS ABOUT WHAT THEY SHOULD WEAR. Granddad is color blind, so you’re just being helpful, right? Wrong. Telling guests what color socks they should wear is definitely a step towards bridezilla territory. Go ahead and unclench your jaw, the photos will look great no matter what granddad wears on his feet. 3.) YOU HAVE CALLED YOUR SUPPLIERS SO MANY TIMES, YOU CAN RECITE THEIR PHONE NUMBERS FROM MEMORY. Sometimes, the hardest part about being a bride is trusting that other people can bring your vision to fruition. Remember that the caterer knows how to feed a crowd, the baker has probably made more wedding cakes than you’ve pinned on Pinterest and the photographer is being paid to understand lighting and know which pictures to take. Relax, take a step back and leave at least some of the work to the professionals you’ve hired. If you find yourself needing to call every supplier to double-check that they’re ready for your big day, you’re likely coming across as a bridezilla, not efficient. Put the mobile down, breathe and have a glass of wine. 4.) YOU AUTOMATICALLY GO TO PINTEREST WHENEVER YOU LOG ONTO THE COMPUTER. If you spend more time with Pinterest than with your fiancé, you may have a problem. You shouldn’t need to log onto Pinterest with your phone in the bathroom, or while you watch a movie with your other half. If you have more than a couple boards dedicated to your wedding and you start having withdrawals when you can’t log onto Pinterest, you may have a problem. If you’re not only obsessively pinning wedding ideas, but also sending them to friends, family and suppliers for feedback, you’re definitely harboring on bridezilla territory. 5.) YOU HAVE NIGHTMARES ABOUT YOUR WEDDING. If your big day is haunting you, even in your sleep, chances are that you need to relax and take a break from planning. There’s nothing worse than a tired bridezilla on a rampage because she had a nightmare that the napkins were champagne when they should have been ivory. 6.) YOU CAN’T REMEMBER YOUR GROOM OR YOU DON’T HAVE ONE YET. Groomless bridezillas exist and they are terrifying. There are actually women in this world (sorry if you’re one of them) that start their Pinterest boards and dress shopping before they even have someone to marry. If your wedding planning has taken over your life to the point that you can’t remember what your groom looks like because you haven’t seen him in six months (or worse, haven’t even met him yet), you need to check yourself into bridezillas anonymous ASAP. 7.) YOU’VE ADOPTED A STRANGE DIET.
Not eating can make people crazy.Maybe weird pre-wedding diets are to blame for the existence of bridezillas? Regardless, if “carb” is your new 4-letter word, the chances are you’re either a bridezilla or a bridezilla-to-be. If you don’t eat delicious carbs or some other food group, you’re more likely to be cranky, crazy and generally no fun to be around.
8.) YOU’VE BECOME OBSESSED WITH BEAUTY.
There’s nothing wrong with taking care of yourself and if a new tube of mascara or a nice haircut makes you feel great – go for it. However, there’s a fine line between feeling good about yourself and obsessing over beauty. If you’ve ever threatened your hairdresser with her own scissors, you’re definitely firmly in the bridezilla camp. Likewise, spending your entire wage on makeup and spray tanns before your wedding isn’t normal either.
Keep an eye out for these telltale signs of becoming a bridezilla. Taking wedding preparations to the extreme and micromanaging your nuptials is not the best way to start your life with the person you love. When it comes to weddings, every woman wants to have her dream day, but it’s important to remember that all you really need is the person you love, family and
friends.
Dally you should not even think about killing yourself it will not solve anything and will only make thing worse for everybody who cares about you. I know that you will not believe this and think that the world is horrible and is not worth living in but I promise you that there is still good in the world. I know that you will say that there is not and that I am naive, but I was not the only one to see this even Johnny saw it as he was dieing. He wanted me to try to point this out to you but I knew that you would need more than just me and Johnny's persuasion so I got word from all of the gang and some idea of how to make things better.

You know, while I was watching my son and future daughter-in-law suffer through the painful process of planning their wedding, I asked myself, “What would it be like if men were responsible for organizing weddings?”

Do you ever think about marriage? If so, where, when, how, and who do you want to marry? Do any of those things even matter to you? Everyone regardless of age, gender, background, or culture will contemplate about marriage at least once in their lifetime, in fact some even plan their dream wedding since they were a kid. However, in reality, marriage is more than just a fairytale-like, dreamy concept as some cliche Hollywood films would portrait. Marriage requires countless serious negotiations and decisions, that couples would soon realize deciding on a marriage was only a tip of an iceberg of decision-making. Couples will have to decide on where to live, how to split the work at home, if they want to expand the family, have children, and etc,
Ever since the fall, mankind has had a voracious desire for power and influence. People witness this desire within the walls of the Capitol Building when the media exposes backroom deals. It also springs up whenever a politician uses a podium to persuade people that he makes the world work. Politicians possibly rely on persuasion because they crave the power. However, persuasion is a manipulative, unBiblical tactic of forcing others to accept a point of view by all means necessary.
Well, a place where to live is essential for everybody. Today I am going to show you a less expensive, practical and ecofriendly solution for this basic but indispensable necessity.
After your bride or grooms were chosen for you many preparations would take place. The ceremony about to take place would be the biggest one you had seen unless you had been to other weddings. Many meetings between the two families would take place as more arrangements were made. The next few weeks would be a time of excitement and wonder. Not only have you not seen your future spouse but you might not have even been given the chance to know his her name, the reason for this is unsure. Depending on family and other factors you may have been given the chance to see your future spouse six or five days prior to the wedding. During the middle ages the custom was known to be celebrated in castles and courtyards as long as a priest blessed the bride and groom. In ages prior to the Middle Ages weddings could not take place anywhere but the churches. As time proceeded the Catholic Church gave more room in regards to where the...
Many girls of different ages fantasize about the perfect wedding, perfect husband, a gorgeous dress, and the happiness to come after the wedding. At one point I was just like these girls. I saw marriage as a paradise that everybody should experience. Around tenth- grade, my rose tinted glasses were removed and I witnessed just how bad a marriage could get to the point of divorce. The divorce my parents went through, changed my entire view on monogamy. I now see marriage in a more realistic point of view and that it is not an easy journey as I once had thought it was.
“Couples today have much higher expectations. Between the 1950s and the 1970s American attitudes toward marriage changed dramatically as part of what has been called the “psychological revolution”—a transformation in the way people look at marriage, parenthood, and their lives in general.” (Skolnick p.171) At first blush, marriage in America seems to have followed a similar course. Once a required rite of passage, seen as a genuine embodiment of shared values, it now serves as a game-show prize on Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire or a booby prize on My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancé — even though wedding ceremonies have created a "bridal-industrial complex," as Lee professor of economics Claudia Goldin calls the nearly $100-billion-a-year U.S. industry that outpaces even the movie business ($45 billion a year, including sales and rentals). (Hodder, 2004) Motivated by celebrity magazines and wedding planners, couples take on increasingly elaborate spectacles that take years to plan and cost on average $20,000 to produce.
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. I would like to echo the groom's sentiments and mention that all the bridesmaids look truly beautiful, indeed.
